as We please You can't get Us all, and you
had better let the matter drop" 6uperin-
tendent Taylor thinks he recognizes the

Ibis letter would indicate that the thieves
have not all been captured and that the
gang was well organized Tbs police are

PIrrsBUEG, April l3.-As time progresses
the most positive confirm Etory evidence SC
cumulates, showing that the peoulatiOn on
the Panhandle railroad have been far IN eE-
cess of what has been reported by the on
cials and others who might be interested in
placing the LOSSES at the lowest figure. This
afternoon it came to light that a
car was EIded on Sunday, a week ago, be-
tween this city land DsnnisOn, not a single ar
tlcle OF value being left behind. This bold
move on the part Of the railway fresbootsrs,
brought them booty valued at So, 500. 1t has
been statsd by parties IN the American De-
tectiV5 Bursau's office in this city
the rear of Mr.. GiIkerson's priva ts
ONCE contain $4,000 worth Of val
uables, part Of which WAS obtained at the
city Of licences" An addition has been
made to the recovered property by the goods
brought back from New Waterford, CoIum-
bia county, o., by DetectiVe John T. Norris,
who had with MIN Elmer Young, another Of
the accused railrOaders. The railroad com
pgny has already satisfied most of the claims
OF the consignees OF the stolen property.
The goods in the hands Of the detectives
Will be sold at auction when ali cases are
settled in the court. The trunks will not be
unpasked until hearings are had before Al
derman GEpp on Monday.
ST. LOUIS, April 13--EYidence Of the guilt
OF the parties arrested for completely IN the
wholesale plumber of the Panhandle railway
company was developed from finding in a
government bonded car a steel chisel which
had been left behind and which bore the
initials ''P., S. L d Co." initials which in
dictated that the tool belonged to the Pitts
burg, st. Louis g Chicago railway, and the
tool chest from whence It came was easily
found and the crew of that train were spot
ted. The goods opened were consigned 10
s. O. Davis & Co. and Simons' Hardware
Co., of st. Louis The de9redatOrs in tax
ing several guns consigned to the latter firm
matched the numbers on the barrels and
stocks, which Is ample evidence OF their not
having been hurried. From these clues fol
lowed a systematic shadUWing with the re-
suit Of unearthing the whole gang.
